Photoshop interface-
Lots of ways to do things
complex program
Menu Bar
Commands
single shot- no options in command
dialog command- have … choose attributes
checkmarks turns on and off setting
toolbar-
select tool and do something in image window
Options bar
options to modify settings of currently selected tool
panels- palettes
contains controls for certain aspects of project, color, history, layers
image window
workspace
Default panels that should be open
layers
colors
adjustments
history
opening images in new project
open in control click
layer transparency, opacity, blending styles
Image Size and its relevance
Image size and resolution# of pixels in imageDPI of imagesize of and dpi of monitormultiply pixels to get megapixelsprint dpi 200 to 300 for good print qualityMaths-image size in pixels divided by dpi gives you max print size desired print size times dpi gives you pixel size of image you need to make print
Retouching
Clone stamp
Option-click to set copy point
[ ] to change size of brush
Healing brush Small area content aware fill, good for skin and fabric
Content aware fill
works best on small objects with organic backgrounds
Edit>fill
Beware of creating patterns or repeating too many bits
Selection Tools
Marquee and lasso tool
most basic selection tools
click and drag from edge
Release to let computer connect to meme a shape
modifier keys alter behavior holding keyoption-drag from center
selection can be clicked and dragged
constrain to perfect square hold shift
add to selection hold shift-non contiguous
alt key subtract from selection
What does a selection mean?
selection only affects active layer
Anything outside selection is protected
Refine edge go through process
Select menu- refine edge, also button
view- show different mask views-use which ever works, try switching views
radius- increase transition areas-PS finds edges
smart radius- PS differentiates between soft/complex and hard-even edges
use show radius button to see transition area
refine using brush buttons and sliders
Finish with decontaminate colors-helps control bleed
output to new layer with mask, output to selection to copy and paste normally
Colorizing
make selection
Use fill layer, should automatically make mask
Explain mask in this context
How to move into and out of masks
Blending modes to blend color layers with original image
Adjustment layersnon destructiveadjustments under image menu change the pixels when image is saved
option-click mask- show b and w layer
command-click mask- show selection
with selection on (marching ants) create an adjustment layer, creates layer with mask
Photoshop cinemagraph lecture
To show 2 ways of motion in photoshop
Animate with video or frames
Cinemagraph-type of animated gif-explain gif compression-has transparency
Find video- archive.org or take with phone
show to download and save
Use quicktime to trim to small portion with with little camera movement, some small specific movement
Save small clip to computer
Photoshop-show timeline, click small video symbol to import footage
Trim footage again by moving handles
Close triangle on video group layer, add layer above footage
Paint over area you want to keep moving
Move forward frame by frame and get all the motion covered by the paint
Select all on a frame of of the video you want to be the still area of the image. Copy and paste that into a new layer
Command click on the layer icon of the paint layer to create a selection
On the still layer, click the mask icon to create a mask, you should have your selection inthe mask area now, command-I to invert the mask
Export for web, choose gif, repeat forever
Post cinemagraph to wiki page
Show onion skin-via fly-out menu on right portion of timeline panel-show how to erase/manipulate frame by frame in video mode
Animate frames- create frame animation in timeline panel with image already loaded, separate part to be animated apart from the background onto new layer
Duplicate layers and create frames- explain the connection between frames and layers
Puppet warp- shift click to select multiple pins
Hold option to allow to rotate around pins
